TECHNOLOGY PREVIEWS Displays: Seeing is Believing The center of the digital imaging universe is the display. It is the decision point for radiology. Digital imaging demands excellent monitor performance. Vendors are meeting the need with high-quality, ﬂexible and affordable displays. The RSNA exhibit hall ﬂoor is sure to shine with enhanced features for ﬂat-panel displays across a wide spectrum of monitor sizes from 1 megapixel to 6 megapixels (MP) to meet the needs of all imaging modalities. Vendors are touting their high-brightness displays for both color and grayscale viewing, as well as tools for hassle-free calibration and maintenance. Lighter, sleeker technologies, too, encourage adoption in smaller facilities, or larger facilities where space is limited. Barco’s Coronis Fusion 6MP color display Double Black’s P series line of self-calibrating LCDs Eizo’s 5MP SMD21510 Barco (Booth 6210) is introducing the world’s ﬁrst 6MP wide-screen diagnostic color display, the Coronis Fusion 6MP DL. The monitor, which is available for sale around the globe, is a PACS display system designed to further enhance exibility and productivity in diagnostic imaging. Featuring the industry’s ﬁrst 30-inch color LCD that can be used as two seamless 3 MP heads or one wide-screen 6 MP display, Coronis Fusion 6MP DL offers the user freedom to organize his or her digital workspace. It allows viewing of CT, MR, cardiac catheterization and echocardiography images, or any other combination, side by side on a single diagnostic screen. Candelis (Both 1509) is introducing a new family of at-panel monitors that include 1 MP, 2MP, 3MP and 5MP models. The displays feature a TFT AMLCD IPS panel and superior rendering and view angle, uniformity compliance, automatic calibration functionality, image control system by network, and ergonomic design. Additional highlights include: third-generation digital signal processor MEDiX III; up to 12-bit grayscale performance with 4,096 unique tones; built-in moving sensor for DICOM calibration; on-board digital ambient control; and graphic card compatibility through DVI connection. 66 Health Imaging & IT | November 2008 Double Black Imaging (Booth 4676) is highlighting its images per minute (IPM) feature to DICOMetrix and new LCDs, as well as a calibration software upgrade. DICOMetrix is a proactive DICOM image ow and network performance monitoring solution. The new IPM feature allows for user-controlled monitoring on the enterprise version in IPM in addition to the images per second (IPS). The IPM feature is beneﬁcial for monitoring slower modalities and slower inter-facility connections in a PACS enterprise that are typically approximately 1 IPS. The company also is releasing its new Wide P-Series line of LCDs with their X-CAL calibration software, which consists of a 2MP monochrome and color, a 3MP monochrome and color and a 5MP monochrome LCD for mammography. Eizo Nanao Technologies (Booth 4022) is introducing new 1MP color and grayscale displays for a variety of modalities. The 19-inch displays, the SCD 19102 and SMD 19102, feature the latest viewing angle technology and luminance up to 280 cd/m2 for the color display and 1000 cd/m2 for the grayscale display. Both displays are available with two different options: a non-re ective protective glass screen and a multifunctional stand. The comHealthImaging.com http://www.HealthImaging.com
